49er ONLINE CASINO DEPARTS U.S. MARKET

On April 23 the door will shut for US players

Online casino marketing affiliates have been advised by RTG-powered 49er online casino that it will be closing its virtual doors to US players with effect from April 23 2007.

The notification, from marketing company Focal Click, advises addressees: "With the recent changes in the industry in the last few months, it has become increasingly difficult to effectively process financial transactions to 49er's valued US customers.

"49er Casino accounts will remain active till April 23, 2007. Your customers are free to continue to enjoy their favourite games until that date, after which any available balance players have on their accounts will be processed and sent to them via check beginning April 30th.

"It would be in your best interest to remove any 49erCasino.com links you have on your site immediately, as the ability to register a new account at 49er is not possible as of today, April 10, 2007."

The communication notes, however that 48er an d its sister venues Sun Poker.com, Omni Casino.com and CS Casino.com will be closing only to US and Turkish business, continuing to serve players in other countries.

49er, originally registered to the Peak Entertainment group and powered by Cryptologic, underwent a software change and a revamp last year.

Despite invitations to comment, the casino management had not responded when we went to press.
